Honestly I cannot avoid a feel that Apple has lost its sense of taste and iOS UI was redone just because of outside pressure and nobody with enough authority having the final word.

Well your feelings are horribly misplaced. Jonathan Ive has more authority than anyone at Apple (Tim Cook included).

  Then maybe Jon Ive is just not very good at software design. His changes to the iOS UI seem like what an amateur designer would do (brighter colors, lots of random ugly icons, inconsistency throughout the UI, and so on). It's like this is his first ride in software design.

    I installed iOS7 for the first time this morning, and it's way too early for me to tell. The colour scheme is a bit jarring, but it's also very unfamiliar so time will tell how well I get used to it. Some of the setting and new functionality seem a bit odd or confusing, but no more so than I'd expect with a new interface. The huge configurability in the camera app was a bit of a surprise. Right now I have absolutely no idea how much I like or dislike the new design. I've been able to do everything (very few things so far to be fair) I wanted to do, and encountered some small frustrations and nice surprises. I'll see how I feel in a week or two. How long have you been using iOS 7 for?

      I've been using iOS 7 since beta 1. My first reaction was: "wtf are these colors?". Now, after some months using it daily I'm used to it and even started to like it.

  Yeah, formally Ive may have lot of power but he may not have Jobs' balls to apply that power.

If anything exactly the reverse has happened. Previously we had some skeuomorphic and some natively digital UIs from Apple because different design groups did things their way. IMHO a fundamental, ground-up revision of the UI was inevitable and indeed widely expected the moment Johnny Ive was put charge of UI design. I can't see him even considering taking on that job without making sure he had as much authority over that revision as he would ever need.

no, it's just that you're a troll. You keep repeating what other people have said in blogs. Can you not think for yourself?
